Although the name ""chimpanzee"" is sometimes used to refer to both species together, it is usually understood as referring to the common chimpanzee, whereas ""Pan paniscus"" is usually referred to as the bonobo.

An alternative ""Theranthropus"" was suggested by Brookes 1828 and ""Chimpansee"" by Voigt 1831. ""Troglodytes"" was not available, as it had been given as the name of a genus of wren (""Troglodytidae"") in 1809.

In addition, ""P. troglodytes"" is divided into four subspecies, while ""P. paniscus"" is undivided. Based on genome sequencing, these two extant ""Pan"" species diverged around one million years ago. The most obvious differences are that chimpanzees are somewhat larger, more aggressive and male-dominated, while the bonobos are more gracile, peaceful, and female-dominated. Their hair is typically black or brown. Males and females differ in"

"Pantolambda Pantolambda is an extinct genus of Paleocene pantodont mammal. ""Pantolambda"" lived during the middle Paleocene, and has been found both in Asia and North America.

""Pantolambda"" and other early pantodonts would quickly evolve into heavy animals such as ""Barylambda"" and ""Coryphodon"".
